The following packages have been renamed as shown. In most, if not all, cases, Conflicts:, Replaces:, and Provides: fields (or even dummy packages) have been provided so the new package will either get installed automatically, and/or will safely replace or remove the old one. This also includes packages that have been merged into other packages as this gives the same end result as a rename.

Although we have made every effort to complete this list, it may still not be exhaustive.
Between releases 2.2 (`potato') and 3.0 (`woody'), a number of packages have been split into two or more packages. The reason for these splits, in general, is that the original package provided a diverse set of functionalities, and that few, if any, users used all of these components.Some packages will display a notice warning of the split during the installation, some mention it in the package description, and some just ignore it.
If you find that a familiar package is lacking some or all of its
functionality, check the list below to see if you need to install additional
packages to restore the original functionality. Failing that, check the
changelog for the package, which can be found in
/usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian.gz.
